Norv Turner, HC. Get a good and lasting look at him on the the Chargers sideline, because even Turner has as much as confirmed that his six-year run as San Diego head coach is over after this game, win or lose. The last three of those years, the Chargers have failed to win the division or make the playoffs, and now his last game with the Chargers will be against the last time that fired him as its head coach. (Not quite so visible is A.J. Smith, the general manager whose even longer tenure is likewise less than secure.)

Eric Weddle, FS. On any given Sunday, Weddle plays the kind of heads-up, banzai football that is the envy of most teams at his highly valued position, as evidenced by Weddle's place on the first-team All-Pro squad last year. Clearly, and understandably, Weddle felt disrespected at being left off the Pro Bowl roster after performing at least as well in 2012 as he did a year ago. Think his motor might be even more revved up for this one?

Kendall Reyes, DE. To watch? After a while, you could almost feel Greg McElroy staring at Reyes before snaps, so often did the Chargers rookie defensive end break through to the Jets quarterback. Reyes had 3 ½ of the Chargers 11 sacks at New York. His target this time will be one of two backup quarterbacks, too, though be informed that Oakland’s done a decent job of pass protection this year.
